Building Design CAD Curriculum Validation Final Report
Introduction The Building Design CAD Technology program is part of a Civil Engineering Technology cluster of diploma programs that provide students with career training in construction engineering, environmental, and geomatics technologies.
After successfully completing the first year of Civil Engineering Technology, with a minimum cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 2.00, students participate in a six-month co-operative education work term. Students subsequently enter one of six (6) specializations:
• Architectural/Engineering Technology • Environmental Technology • Geomatics Technology • Municipal Engineering Technology • Structural Engineering Technology • Building Design CAD Technology
The Building Design CAD Technology program originated as a one (1) year program, under a different name and in another School within the College. It was moved into the Civil Engineering Technology cluster in 1998. The program differs from the others in the cluster in that:
• It is a total of 20 months or 2 years, while the others are 32 months or 3 years • It is not accredited, while the others are accredited
The program is typically full and graduates find employment.
In nominating the program for renewal, the program Chair indicated a need to clarify the occupation that is the basis for the program and to examine the relationship of the program to the other majors, particularly Architectural/Engineering Technology, in meeting the needs of industry.
The intent of the Curriculum Validation process is to analyze the status of the program and to chart a course for program renewal. The process uses a structured format resulting in a 5-year renewal plan.
Curriculum Validation Deliverables The Building Design CAD Technology Curriculum Validation process involved 7 interrelated deliverables:
1. Environmental Scan and Analysis of the key findings of similar programs across Canada 2. Industry Occupational Analysis 3. Graduate Skills and Abilities and Gap Analysis Chart
1
4. Graduate Profile 5. Program Renewal Plan 6. A 5 Year Program Renewal Plan in Gantt Chart format 7. Final Report
Outcomes from the Deliverables Environmental Scan and Key Findings (Appendix A) The Environmental Scan provides the faculty and chair with information about similar programs that are offered in Colleges and Universities locally and nationally. Given the need to examine the relationship of the Building Design CAD Technology program to the other majors, particularly Architectural/Engineering Technology, it was determined that the environmental scan should be conducted in two (2) phases: Phase 1 With the assistance of Building Design CAD Technology faculty and Chair, Program & Curriculum Development staff identified programs in Canadian Colleges that are similar to either the Building Design CAD Technology or the Architectural/Engineering Technology programs. Program & Curriculum Development staff completed a website based scan of twenty-two (22) programs identified at twelve (12) colleges (including Red River College). The scan collected information under the following categories:
• Name of Institution, Location • Program Description • Program Length • Program Streams or Specializations • Courses • Accreditation
Key findings of this initial scan are: Program Structure
• Red River College (RRC) and New Brunswick Community College (NBCC) programs have a common first year followed by the opportunity for several specializations. At the other ten (10) colleges, the programs are independent of each other
• Programs at the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology (SAIT) enable students to select a major in semester four (4) of four (4)
• Programs at Algonquin College, George Brown College and Loyalist College have more than one exit point (e.g. certificate, diploma, advanced diploma)
Program Emphasis
• Programs place varying emphasis on each of the following: o Design development o Contracts, estimating, project management o Drafting, computer aided design, presentation, modeling o Structures, building science, building systems
2
o Specialties such as renovation, disassembly, GIS, landscape, multi-family o Foundation skills such as communication, math, chemistry o Professional ethics
• Programs have either a predominantly architectural or a predominantly engineering emphasis and the program name typically represents the emphasis. Programs at British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC), and Red River College (RRC), have names that suggest a dual emphasis.
o BCIT – Architectural and Building Engineering Technology o NSCC – Architectural Engineering Technician o RRC – Architectural / Engineering Technology
• The BCIT and NSCC programs are predominantly architectural while the RRC program provides a more equal emphasis on architecture and engineering.
This Phase 1 Environmental Scan is available as a mind map (PDF version) in Appendix A1 of the online version of the report. Phase 2 Based on a review of the information gathered in Phase 1, the Building Design CAD Technology faculty and Chair identified nine (9) programs with an architecture emphasis, in addition to the Building Design CAD Technology program at Red River College, for a more in-depth scan. Information about each program was gathered from websites by Program and Curriculum Development staff. The Curriculum Validation Facilitator subsequently engaged faculty to make telephone or email contact with program contacts. The scan gathered information under the following categories:
• Name of Institution, Location, Contact Person • Size of Program • Credential Issued • Program Features • Curriculum Model • Curriculum Content • Student Assessment • Current and Coming Challenges • Curriculum Renewal • Partnerships • Additional Information (Other and Comments)
The following programs were scanned:
• Algonquin College, Ottawa, ON – Architectural Technician / Technology • British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT), Burnaby, BC – Architectural and
Building Engineering Technology • Fanshawe College, London, ON – Architectural Technology • Holland College, PEI – Architectural Technology • Loyalist College, Belleville, ON – Architectural Technician / Technology • Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT), Edmonton, AB – Architectural

Technologies-Building Development major
Key Findings from the Environmental Scan Credentials Awarded All of the programs scanned award a Diploma following two (2) years of study. Three (3) Ontario programs (Algonquin College, Fanshawe College and Loyalist College) award Advanced Diplomas following three (3) years of study. One Ontario program awards a Certificate following one (1) year of study. Program Exit Points With the exception of Algonquin College and Loyalist College, all of the programs have just one (1) exit point. The Algonquin College program has two (2) exit points – a Technician Diploma at the end of two (2) years and a Technology Advanced Diploma at the end of three (3) years. The Loyalist College program has the same 2 exit points, with an additional exit point – a Certificate at the end of one (1) year. Entrance Requirements Entrance into programs at Algonquin College, Holland College, Loyalist College, NSCC and RRC is first qualified, first admitted. Entrance into programs at BCIT, Fanshawe College, NAIT and SAIT is competitive. Programs that require more than a 50% minimum in some or all high school courses are BCIT, Holland College and NAIT. Experiential Component Co-op placements are a component of the programs at Algonquin College, Fanshawe College, NSCC (optional) and RRC. Programs at BCIT and Loyalist College include brief work practicums while the programs at NAIT and SAIT include a 1 week work experience. The program at Holland College does not include an experiential component. Program Delivery Full time delivery is available for all of the programs. At Algonquin College, the Technician level of the program is also available as a Weekend offering. NAIT reports working toward part-time and online delivery. Streams The programs at RRC and SAIT each share common semesters with more than one (1) stream.

Industry Occupational Analysis (Appendix B) The Industry Occupational Analysis is one component of the curriculum development process at Red River College and provides the program with a description of regional occupational needs. Included in the process is the identification of emerging and retiring industry trends. The Industry Occupational Analysis for the Building Design CAD Technology program was held on February 6 & 13, 2013, facilitated by Robert Cordingley, Craig Edwards and Lorna Smith. Nine (9) expert practitioners in the field were asked to identify the major competencies and related skills for the occupation of Architectural Technologist. As well, they were asked to rate each identified skill to indicate the level of independence, in performing the skill, required of a new hire. To facilitate any future decisions about seeking program accreditation from the Canadian Council of Technicians & Technologists (CCTT), the National Technology Benchmarks for Architectural and Building Technology were provided to the practitioners as a reference. The resulting Building Design CAD Technology Occupational Analysis identified the following scope, emerging trends and retiring trends:
Scope Architectural Technologists working in:
• Residential & commercial • New construction & renovation • Small & large firms:
o Architectural o Engineering o Construction o Suppliers
• Public sector • Manitoba & other provinces
Emerging Industry Trends
• BIM –The way of fitting into a BIM team is different than for a CAD team. Requires teamwork and communication
• Integration of "silos" • Building science has become more important due to regulations, etc. • Integrated Project delivery (IPD) • Cloud based services and software tools • Architectural and engineering firms working more closely
Retiring Industry Trends
• "Silos" of various roles in the field are breaking down • Eventually CAD, but this will take a long time
Identified Issues
• Use of low end software used by unskilled individuals • Lack of knowledge of building technologies in students – RRC and university
Please see the detailed Occupational Analysis in Appendix B.

Graduate Skills and Abilities and Gap Analysis Chart (Appendix C) During two half-day workshops on April 23 and 25, 2013, faculty used the Industry Occupational Analysis chart to outline their assessment of what would constitute realistic learning expectations of the program. They then compared those expectations to the current instruction in the program to identify any gaps in training. The outcome of this workshop was a single, composite chart that outlines the graduate skills and abilities. This chart, located in Appendix C, serves as the focus for curriculum renewal and the basis for the development of program learning outcomes. Graduate Profile (Appendix D) Through the use of the Graduate Skills and Abilities Chart, the Graduate Profile Outcome statements were developed by the faculty at a workshop on May 2, 2013. A Graduate Profile is a set of outcome statements that describe the essential and enduring knowledge, skills and abilities expected of a graduate of a program. The graduate profile provides the focus for program and course revision to ensure that all learning outcomes and assessments are relevant to the expected learning of students in the program. Please see the detailed Graduate Profile in Appendix D. Program Renewal Goals and Actions (Appendix E) A visioning workshop with the Building Design CAD Technology faculty and Chair on May 7, 2013 challenged participants to identify, “What should be done over the next 5 years to maintain and enhance program excellence?” As part of the pre-visioning that day, participants reviewed the preceding four deliverables as well as Graduate Satisfaction and Employment Reports and Student Evaluation of Program Reports for several years. The goals identified at this visioning session are articulated in the graphic below. Please see the full set of goals and related action items in Appendix E.
9
5 Year Program Renewal Program (Appendix F) The program renewal plan is the result of translating the preceding five deliverables into a coherent plan for the renewal of the program. The Program Renewal Plan will serve as the basis for the improvement of the Building Design CAD Technology program. After reviewing the five deliverables, including the Goals and Action items, the Chair in consultation with the Curriculum Consultant, set priorities and identified the sequence of the goals and action items within the 5 year renewal plan. Please see the Gantt chart for the Renewal Plan sequence and timeline in Appendix F. The Chair and faculty are committed to renewing the program over the next 5 year period.
